The Open League Season 5: Important updates Based on the results of the recent community vote, Season 5 of The Open League will run for 4 weeks from July 10th to August 7th. Here's what you need to know:
1/ TON is still quite early; it hasn’t reached the “real money” stage yet. However, the flywheel effect has been established, especially the moat for the TON Blockchain itself compared to other L1 networks. We have payments, the mini-app, and a growing number of users in the network. 🔹The network is experiencing a compounding effect.🔹
2/ Asia is the most undervalued region (I think everyone agrees with this even before TON stood out this year), but the most impactful aspect is the talent resources for developers in the mini-app framework. Nevertheless, over the 9 months in the TON Foundation, I think local investors or firms are still not that numerous. 🔹This also means there is a huge opportunity for VCs here.🔹
3/ Telegram Usernames will become the most valuable NFTs and assets in crypto history due to the massive demand within the Telegram mini-app ecosystem. Telegram Stars will be the most successful entry point from Web2 to Web3, bringing billions of dollars into the TON network. 🔹This will lead to real mass adoption: more users coming in and an easier way to buy digital goods.🔹
4/ More importantly, 99% of people are focusing on mini-apps and click-to-earn or tap-to-earn projects. However, the true potential of TON and Telegram lies in their capabilities for DeFi and social integration. 🔹In the second half of 2024, there is a high chance that TON will see growth in DeFi and other on-chain projects.🔹 Metrics such as TVL, trading volume, and the number of on-chain users are all expected to increase.

@major would be the most successful project to embrace the new traffic business model on TON Blockchain after I post this article.
A few points:
1. Best branding due to the excellent @telegram username.
2. Fiat on-ramp with the best UX (Telegram Stars).
3. Social elements and simple financial features that allow people to monetize and participate.

About Telegram Stars and the New Paradigm of Channels & TON Ecosystem: The Case of the Major Mini-App 🌟
In just 10 days, the Major app has announced over 7 million active users.❗️
1️⃣ Why is this product amazing?
- Legitimate Telegram Username: Available on Fragment.com
- Excellent UX: Leverages Telegram Stars
- Viral Infrastructure: Encourages inviting more people and engaging with the ranking system
How to play?
Players compete for high rankings. Top places on the overall leaderboard will receive rewards in TON, and in the future, the team plans to release the $STARS token.
The mechanics are very simple. You boost your rating with Telegram Stars (a new payment method in Telegram mini-apps) by completing tasks, inviting referrals, and receiving boosts from friends.
From day one, the Major team started popularizing the new payment method. Many users are still wary of the stars, but with such growth rates, Major will do a great job and help form a habit of using them. Whether intentional or not, there’s a good functional and visual match between Telegram Stars and the rating stars within Major⭐️.
2️⃣ Thoughts
More and more products are easily reaching millions of users on Telegram.
By all means, "having traffic means having revenue." I think the TON Blockchain is helping the Telegram team engage all the messenger app users, as everyone involved starts earning rewards, whether based on tokens, TONcoin, or just Telegram Stars.
This further illustrates the point from our previous article: the reason we can have 10x more users in crypto is because of us.🔥
Let's go forward!

"mini-app is eating the Web3" ☄️
❤️ Recently, the Telegram mini-app API had updates. They fixed the mini-app bugs and now allow developers to intentionally set the mini-apps in vertical orientation. This is a game changer that makes more gaming possible within the TON/Telegram ecosystem.
⭐️ More importantly, more and more new projects are being based purely on Telegram Stars. As I mentioned before, Telegram Stars could be the biggest fiat on-ramp ever in the crypto industry. Both have broken the 1 million users mark within a week.

🐱 Catizen, invested by TOP.co, is the most exciting development in the last couple of months. Having worked as Dev Rel Asia Lead for a while, I know how important this is for projects in Asia. I will say it's a great start, and I am happy to see more second-trend startups in Asia being recognized by TOP.co.

❗️ This is based on my personal view, not related to the opinion of the Ton Foundation or any entity. It's just based on my personal thoughts and developing experience.
- dton.io / @dtonforum: Updates messages in real-time without needing to refresh the web page. Supports GraphQL and focuses on showing on-chain information for developers.
- tonviewer.com / @tonkeeper_news: Better at displaying transactions in graphs. Helpful for checking how messages jump between different addresses. Very well integrated with many DApps like TonKeeper, Ston.fi, and MyTonWallet, etc.
- tonscan.com: Has a great table listing the wealthiest accounts/addresses in the TON Blockchain. Well-designed with attention to detail and aesthetics.
- tonscan.org: Clean and stable, sometimes faster at indexing and displaying transactions.

1/ The number of developers in TON is rapidly increasing in Q1-Q2 2024. This influx of talent is just the first step, with high-quality projects on the way. The ecosystem is about to experience a boom. Developers bring good projects, which in turn attract more funding into the TON Blockchain. The ecosystem's prosperity is expected to follow one or two quarters later.
2/ Many excellent and experienced teams are working on various categories, not just DeFi, DEXs, Yield Farming or lending products, but also practical DApps. Most importantly, Telegram Stars play a crucial role. And expand some idea after checked in The Open League Hackathon / DoraHacks.
3/ At the current moment, there are some interesting projects recently emerging. I think the successful path for TON might not follow past experiences. While DeFi is still relevant, the killer app for TON might be a combination of "Gaming + Finance." From what I saw in the DoraHacks Hackathon, there are many interesting projects with great talent in smart contract coding. I expect to see more innovations in the near future.
